Cast of Cards: Freebie Pack 1 (Fantasy)

If you play Savage Worlds, then you know their slogan: "Fast, Furious, and Fun!" And if you play any role-playing game, you know it's all to easy to get stuck generating characters, filling out record sheets and otherwise doing paperwork. Sometimes you just want to sit down and play. Sometimes you need the characters already waiting.

Sometimes you need a Cast of Cards.

Cast of Cards decks offer gamers ready-to-use Savage Worlds NPCs, monsters, and villains, complete with stats and background--you can just shuffle the deck, choose and play. Available for order on dry-erase marker-ready cards, or printable from the PDF you can download today, Cast of Cards decks save you time and effort.

Each deck offers 17 Extras (NPCs), including game stats and character backgrounds, as well as space to track Wounds in case you upgrade the Extra to a Wild Card.

Want to know more? No problem!

Cast of Cards: Freebie Pack 1 gives you five free NPCs. These unique characters fit in with other Cast of Cards decks, but are not repeats! If you like what you see, you'll have an extra card ready to go for your next adventure.

I'm rather new to Savage Worlds so maybe I'm missing something here. Should the Curious Scholar have the yellow hindrance and the brave edge? On one hand he gets a -2 to fear rolls and also a +2 to the same.

I suspect you are supposed to pick which you want the Curious Scholar to have. A Yellow Curious Scholar is a *completely* different character from a Brave Curious Scholar!

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
